New Railroads.

Tennessee seems TO be In earnest In her
efforts TO make connection with the Vlr-
gina system OF railroads, or with the Bait
more and Ohio. In a public railroad meet
ing in Nashville A few days ago Colonel
CoLYAR said that two charters had been OBJ
tanned. The first charter was to Cum5er-
land Gap, where they expected to be met
by The Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Tine
other was to the Virginia line at Clineh
river. The best route would be adopted,
aud all would work together.
In +he same meeting Colonel PATTERSON
told how theoretically Mr.. LEAKE and
Chief Engineer TEMPLE had pushed for.
ward the work Of selecting and surveying
the most feasible route from Memphis to
Nashville, thence eastward 10 point on the
Virginia line near the Clinch river, con-
Meeting with the trunk lines going east.
This is evidently a scheme TO have Bal
timore road through Virginia to Memphis
to divert trade and traffic from our great
road leading from Newport News to Men,
phis. These new roads will benefit the
country through which they shall pass.

Watterson on Sac BANKS.

The Superintendent OF Banks in New
York State in his annual report proposes
that State banks, under national superyi-
sion, shall take the place OF the present
rational banks; that "the national Con-
trOller of the Currency" shall be the gene
raj supervisor. and shall have submitted to
him the securities which each State bank
shall offer as the guarantee OF the circula-
lation applied for, ana these securities the
Controller is to hold to provide for the re-
6emption Of the notes Of failed banks.
The securities are: First, the bonds OF
any State that has not dofaulted IN ten
years on either Interest or principal Of any
authorized debt; and, second, the stocks
or bonds OF any city, county, town, or vii
lage.
This proposition is received with no
favor by the Courier. journal, which goes
30 far as TO say that as strongly
as wCltinfOmcd men condemn the
unlimited liceuse for Congress to is
sue gTcenbacks al iafaibam, created by
the supreme Court decision OF two years
ago, such men would greatly prefer to the
New York scheme the proposition that our
Congress absorb to the National Treasury
the entire monopoly Of papermoney Issues
and initiate the greenbacks as they may
zee fit.
The COUrier-Journdl adds:
"Since 1870 no country Ia the world has
had better secured and more generally
accepted note circulation than that OF the
natiOna.bgnk system. The old State bank.
notes had difltRent values, not only IN dif.
ftrent States, but even in adjoining cOnn-
ties, and lnpumerable devices OF rascality

may be said 10 the disparagement Of the

II certainly cannot be denied that the notes
are The safest and most stable bank issue
the country has ever known.
